You're the only guy I see who says that collectively, the game looks better in replay than it does during the game.
To me, a flaw in the past couple years were that some of the tackles were "fast-fall" animations. This made it seem like there were frames missing in some of the animations. I didn't notice many of these ugly tackles in CD build I played.
I'm hard-pressed to believe that you think the EA Sports Highlight vids, which are basically replays, look better than Madden 09 in motion.
P.S. No one is
entitled to a response to the devs. Add your name to the list...it's impossible for them to respond to
everyone.
